Amongst the hits included are classics like Do The Strand, Avalon, Slave to Love and In Every Dream Home a Heartache... but the programme covers their entire careers, so do prepare for More than This.

All'aria stu gioia - L'uomo vivo

Scicli, a small Baroque gem in southern Sicily. With 33 days to go until Easter Sunday, the inhabitants are preparing to celebrate the holiday. "L'Uomo Vivo, il Gioia" (The Living Man, the Joy): words used by the people of Scicli to invoke the Risen Christ, a symbol that is part of the community's identity. An 18th-century statue created by Benedetto Civiletto. Peppe, Franco, Angelo, and Claudio are four bearers of the Gioia, whose friendship was born right under the "Vara." They can be considered the emblem of the bearers, that is, ordinary and simple lives that come together for a common passion, the Gioia, which is the main topic of their discussions every day. Peppe works with marble, Franco is a sales representative, Angelo is a farmer on the family farm, and Claudio is a truck driver who travels all over Italy. The film follows their daily lives about a month before the Easter holidays, showing the preparations for the festival and the meetings that precede the big day.

Souffrance au travail... On lâche rien !

Harassment, abuse, loss of meaning in work... lead thousands of employees to suffer at work, fall ill, or even commit suicide! This marks the beginning of a real struggle for these victims or their families to have their suffering recognized as a "work accident" or "occupational illness" and, where appropriate, to have the employers responsible convicted in criminal court. Through three situations emblematic of these strategies of denial, this film shows how social mobilization and solidarity enable victims or their families to say: "We won't give up!"

La moda del liscio

La Moda del Liscio tells a composite story, articulated around major themes (the dance master, the orchestral players, the singer, the club manager, the TV, the epigones of an era) that constitute the epic of ballroom dancing, its anti-heroic dramaturgy, its somewhat vague and kitsch aesthetic. It is a choral story, populated by great figures but above all by orchestras, because ballroom dancing is not a genre for soloists. And there has never been any talk, with regard to ballroom dancing, of 'concerts', but only of 'shows', also choral, each with its own genre dynamics and costumes in which America is always cited. This documentary, through repertoires and interviews, with a focus on the private dimension of those who were the protagonists, wants to reconstruct not a history but a system of memories, an intimate and at the same time public memorial of a country that was happy.

Les enfants de la liberté

A simple nurse's aide and mother of three children, Sonia is committed to fundamental rights. She is convinced that the crisis that France has been experiencing since the beginning of the pandemic is more political than sanitary. Sonia founded the Blouses Blanches, a collective working for fundamental freedoms, and is opposed to the mandatory and systematic vaccination of caregivers and children. From her point of view, both have been sacrificed on the altar of the pandemic. For several months, Maga and Ariakina Ettori met with scientists, doctors and politicians in order to understand what this health crisis reveals about our health system, our society, our collective values and our democracy. A balanced and nuanced journalistic investigation.

Fatima

Fatima has become an activist to challenge sex trade in her community. Married off to a pimp as a child-bride and expected to become a sex-worker by her in-laws, she has a genuine knowledge of and access to the women in her community. Fatima tries desperately hard to prevent her children going into the sex trade. She divorces her husband and as we follow her personal ups and downs: falling in love again, trying to start a new family, we find out more about why she chose to fight against the abuse and exploitation that has become systemic in her community. Despite the forces of police corruption and community ties hampering her efforts, Fatima appears to be rewarded both as an activist and in her personal life. But there is growing resentment and Fatima's hopes appear to be constantly overwhelmed by the challenges facing her and her new family.
